IN VENICE, LAURA MEGA’S TEXTILE INSTALLATIONS AND THE RECOMPOSITION OF CONTEMPORARY FEELING
The exhibition WHERE MY SOUL COMPILES presents works by Laura Mega and Daniel Pešta at Garibaldi Gallery in Venice, curated by Chiara ModIca Donà dalle Rose and promoted by Fondazione Donà dalle Rose in collaboration with MuMo – Museum Montanelli, Prague.

The title emerges from the intersection of…

TEXTILES IN ENCOUNTER: JAIME POBLETE 2024–2025
| by Elena Redaelli | Jaime Poblete’s recent work is poised to engage with encounters: with materials and processes, with other people, and with larger landscapes.

At Artefacto, Francisco Gonzalez’s studio, he assisted and taught, refining a practice where making remains visible in form. From 2002 to 2007, as a restorer at MAC in Santiago, he learned patience with material change and the quiet memory held in artefacts. Migration to Europe, first to Valencia for further…
